Picked my velar up from the dealer yesterday. He told me they did quite a few software updates, including “version 3” which he said is 19C. So far I’ve noticed it is quite a bit snappier going through menus. Haven’t driven it enough to see what bugs might pop up yet. I have noticed a few extra features such as automatic check of navigation map updates, and a few other minor things. I haven’t played around with online media as I pay for Apple Music and don’t want to pay for Deezer.

Hope it fixed most of the issues! Version is 2017C.10-4957

Where is your dealer located? Mine in NY said this update had been pulled, but it sounds like it was successful for you. Definitely keep us updated on your experience as you keep going!

I got mine on Friday, was also told I'd had "Update 3". So far no issues, although I've only had it a weekend. Everything seems smooth and to just work. The dealer did say it was currently an optional update, and not mandatory to be applied to all vehicles (so maybe in beta?).

I'm in MInnesota. I don't know what all they did other than "quite a few" as the service worksheet just says "had this problem, updated this to current version" so on and so fourth. One other minor thing I noticed is the fuel gauge is much easier to see and read.

Had my car in today to check for any software updates. I went to a different dealer than I've been to before (in Australia). The previous dealer just said that because Topix didn't show any applicable updates, that was that. But the new dealer said yes, there have been a number of optional updates. But he warned that they had a couple of cars that were "bricked" while installing updates. Later in the morning, he rang to say that the technician said there were 2 newer updates that were applicable. Each would take over 90 minutes, and often have to be installed twice (ridiculous situation), so they might not have time to do both. Sure enough, the major update, which turned out to be phase 3, had to be installed twice, which left no time for whatever the other one was. However, he said the phase 3 was the major one, and to get back if I still had any problems.

Well, on the 1 hour trip home, there are definite improvements. I streamed Spotify via bluetooth and usb with not a single dropout. There was consistent album art and track IDs. I don't think it was there before, but there's now a nice "watermark" of the album art on the background of the main screen and dashboard screen (if you have media displayed there). Siri's voice now comes over the radio speakers properly, and I can hold conversations with "her" successfully (never could get passed the first question before). My app version is 2017c.10-4957. One other thing I'm hoping is fixed is the stupidly long time it takes for the radio to come on sometimes, and also the reversing camera sometimes. Only glitch so far is that when I've had a conversation with Siri, once Spotify streaming is resumed the track progress bar doesn't move. But it starts behaving properly again once the next track starts, so no biggy. Only seems to happen with Bluetooth.

My stop/start system had also started playing up a bit - car very rarely turned off. Not that I minded, but I thought it might be indicative of another problem. But there was a software update for that too, and so far so good.
